Guiding Through Tradition

In the spirit of the Gospel and the Carmelite Tradition, Crespi engages the student in three interlocking dimensions: Community, Service, and Prayer. We continue to build a community that listens and bears witness to the divine plan through the promotion of justice in the service of the whole person. Under the guidance of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Carmelite schools are places of prayer and contemplation, committed to living the gospel of social justice through our daily actions and interactions with the wider community.

Cultivating 21st Century Learners

We understand how boys develop into young men. Through smaller class sizes, research-based best practices, and the latest technological tools, we create an environment that cultivates 21st century learning. A collaborative spirit permeates the academic fabric of the school. With the support of our learning community, these young men are ready to face academic challenges with greater depth. Through struggle and hard work, our young men are able to gain strong self-efficacy.

Your Journey Starts Here

We prepare young men to take ownership of their education by encouraging their intellectual curiosity. With accessible resources and support, Crespi students develop a self-advocacy that ensures success in college. Learn what steps need to be taken to earn admittance to Crespi Carmelite High School.

Crespi Athletics Home

Our Carmelite philosophy focuses on the development of the whole person. Competitive athletics, properly conceived and executed, are an integral part of the overall educational experience of the Crespi student.

The successful athlete must have a strong will - the will to win, the will to persevere despite discouragement and seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and the will to discipline himself for his own good and that of the team. These qualities, developed and nurtured in athletics and ready to be carried over into more important aspects of life, provide the essential nature of Crespi athletics. The goal for athletes and teams is to perform at 100% of their capabilities. If something is worth doing, it is worth doing well. Each athlete is encouraged to strive for excellence within the limitations of his individual capabilities and talents.

Refining Their Talents

Every child’s intelligence and abilities are far more complex than any grading scale. Therefore, variety and balance are required for a holistic education. We have a multitude of ways that our young men can cultivate and refine their talents, ways that nurture a sense of wonder and a passion for exploration. With multiple paths of learning, our educators understand and respond to diverse learning styles and the ever-evolving needs of our students. Whether through artistic pursuits or student activities, we have something for everyone.
